Mitchell J. Schultz, managing director of Xtraordinary Adventures and one of the exclusive cadre of RocketShip Tours' worldwide certified Space Tourism Specialists, will help the selected corporate participants prepare for their Pinnacle Life Event – a suborbital flight on Lynx. According to Schultz “XCOR Aerospace has an incredible focus on safety with an unblemished record of manned rocket aircraft flights since 2002. Putting the safety of its participants as their primary concern, they have built some of the most innovative rocket engines in the industry and should soon establish themselves as the premier suborbital space flight group in the world.” Sitting in the front right seat of the Lynx next to the astronaut / pilot, who early on will be Col. Rick Searfoss, former NASA Space Shuttle Commander and two time Shuttle pilot, Schultz calls the Mach 3.5+ flight to the edge of space "the most thrilling flight on this planet, clearly it is The Right Stuff Experience true adventurers are looking for today and one of the greatest awards a top executive can receive."

The Lynx has been designed with four independent rocket engines whose operational profile are “jet-engine” like in the sense they are used to power the aircraft. After it lands, they are refueled, a checklist is performed, and then you take off again, up to four times per day. The Lynx takes off like a private aircraft from a runway, flies to the edge of space, and returns to the take off site. Four onboard and several ground based cameras will be recording these historical flights, and will become a memento of this extraordinary personalized experience.

The LYNX experience includes a four day training session and a two day briefing before the flight itself. A $20,000 deposit will start the process
